鄂爾多斯市西四旗2024～2025學年第一學期期中聯(lián)考試卷·高二英語參考答案、提示及評分細則【答案與解析】本文是一篇應用文。文章主要介紹了紐約市四處最佳的二手商鋪。1．C推理判斷題。根據HousingWorks部分可知，商鋪支援無家可歸者和病患，這表明此處參與慈善工作。2．A細節(jié)理解題。根據ChelseaFlea部分“●OpeningHours:12pm—7pmTuesday—Sunday”及其他三家商鋪的營業(yè)時間可知，ChelseaFlea在周日晚上7點結束營業(yè)。因此，如果顧客在周日晚上6點后想購買便宜的衣服，這里是唯一可能的選擇。3．B細節(jié)理解題。根據AuH2O和Celene’sThriftShop兩部分的描述可知，提供酷而獨特的古著服飾是它們的共同點。選項A不正確，因為它們位于不同的街道；選項C不正確，因為Celene’sThriftShop中未提及；選項D不正確，因為AuH2O只在周末開放，而Celene’sThriftShop一周開放六天。【答案與解析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了AnneOllila和她的家人飼養(yǎng)馴鹿的故事。4．D詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞前“AtthattimeOllilasleepsduringthedayandwalksupto20kilometresanightthroughtheforest,makingthemostofthecoolertemperaturestodoherworkbuthavingto”及畫線詞后“l(fā)argegroupsofinsectsalongtheway.”可推斷，畫線詞的意思和Putupwith最接近。Goawaywith意為“攜帶某物離開”；Catchupwith意為“追上，趕上”；Lookforwardto意為“期待”。5．C細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“Indeepestwinter…thereindeermoveintotheforestforprotectionagainstwolvesandgoldeneagles—thebirdscankillanadultreindeer.”可知，馴鹿在冬天進入森林是為了保護自己。6．B細節(jié)理解題。根據第五段“OneofherfavouritesisRocky…‘He’sverycuriousandalwaysintrouble,’shesays.‘Heoncegothimselfstuckintreebranchesandhadtobeliftedout,andhehasbeenknowntowalkoffwithhisowners’dryingunderwear.’”可知，Ollila認為Rocky總是闖禍。7．A推理判斷題。根據最后一段“OllilagaveupherjobasasociologyresearcherattheUniversityofLaplandin2010todevoteherselftoraisingreindeer.‘Ilovetheenvironment,theanimalsandthefreedom,’shesays…”可推斷，Ollila對大自然有著深厚的感情?！敬鸢概c解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了什么是龍卷風以及如何應對龍卷風。8．C推理判斷題。根據第二段“…rangesfromEF0toEF5．Forexample,atornado…wouldberatedEF0withwindspeedsbetween65and85mph.Atornadothatblowsawaybuildingsandtearsupsidewalks,ontheotherhand,wouldberatedEF5withwindspeedsover200mph.”可推斷，風速每小時200英里很可能為EF4級龍卷風。9．A細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段“ThemostpowerfultornadoinUnitedStateshistoryoccurrednearOklahomaCityin1999…Atornadowithwindspeedsthathighcannotonlypickupandthrowautomobiles,butalsoknockovertrainsandtearuproadways.”可知，本段的例子告訴我們:龍卷風的危害很大。10．C段落大意題。通讀最后一段可知，本段主要介紹了如何在龍卷風中幸存的小貼士。11．D推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段可推斷，本文最可能來自一篇關于自然災害的文章。【答案與解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一項研究發(fā)現——某些類型的音樂能夠幫助你減輕痛苦。12．B推理判斷題。根據第一段“WhenAdelereleasedher2011singleSomeoneLikeYou…Herartistry,aswellasthatofmanyotherswhohavemasteredtheartofmakinglistenersfeelmovedwithslowandemotionalbeats,hasawayofmanagingtheemotionalpainofheartbreakandloss.”可推斷，作者在本段提及阿黛爾是為了引入話題。13．B觀點態(tài)度題。根據第三段“‘Itdoesn’ttaketheplaceofmedicinewhenyouhaveaheadache,butmusiccanhelpreduceyourpain,’”saidPatrickStroman…’Unlikeothermedications,’henoted,’thereisnosideeffectorriskinlisteningtomusic…’”可知，Stroman對于聽音樂減輕痛苦的效果持“肯定的”態(tài)度。14．A細節(jié)理解題。根據第四段“Whenratingtheirexperiences,peopleweremorelikelytoreportfeelinglesspainwhenlisteningtotheirfavoritesongscomparedwithhearingtheunfamiliarrelaxingsongs.”可知，研究的參與者會在實驗中報告他們對于痛苦的感受。15．D標題判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第二段可知，本文的最佳標題是：某些類型的音樂能夠幫助你減輕痛苦。【答案與解析】本文是一篇說明文。文章提供了一些技巧和建議，幫助非專家欣賞和理解藝術作品，強調了欣賞藝術是主觀的體驗，沒有固定的方式。16．F根據下文提供的建議，如“Determinethebasics”和“Dosomehomework”等可知，F項“下次你看藝術品的時候試試這些建議，它們可能會對你有所幫助”符合。17．E根據空前“Trytodetermineitsmedium（材料）.Ifit’sapainting,seeifyoucanfigureoutthetypeofpaintused.”可知，E項“你也可以辨認出藝術家和作品的創(chuàng)作時間”符合。18．A根據下文“Artistsaremastersofdrawingattention.Theyusuallyhaveaplanforhowyourvisionshouldmoveacrosstheartwork.”可知，A項“留意你的視線所在”適合作本段小標題。19．C根據空前“…h(huán)avingsomeknowledgedoesn’thurt,either.”和“doalittleresearch”可知，C項“這些都有助于提升你的鑒賞能力”符合。20．D根據本段小標題及空后“Doyoufeelsad,happyorangry?”可知，D項“當你第一次看到藝術作品時，識別自己的感受”符合。【答案與解析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了美國的奶奶籃球聯(lián)盟的故事。21．D只要問問上周末參加（played）第18屆年度奶奶全國籃球錦標賽的50歲以上女性就知道了。22．C該活動在愛荷華州的迪科拉舉行，吸引了（attracted）來自全國各地的團隊。23．A球員們可能來自（comefrom）不同的行業(yè)，但她們都有一個共同點（incommon）：她們都是奶奶籃球聯(lián)盟的成員。giveup意為“放棄”；adaptto意為“適應”；searchfor意為“尋找”。24．D見上題解析。inhurry意為“匆忙地”；inprint意為“已出版；在銷售中”；inneed意為“在困難中”。25．B該組織由BarbMcPhersonTrammell創(chuàng)立，為年長的（senior）女性提供了一個難得的機會，讓她們保持健康（fit）、結交朋友以及緩解壓力。26．A見上題解析。27．C奶奶們遵循一套不同的（diff
